An online dictionary defines "Better half" as ''a person's wife, husband, or partner" while another tells us it's a bit gender specific term and usually used as a synonym for 'wife'.
Better Half of Me (Tom Walker)
[Verse 1]
You'll always be my number one
A whole lot more than good enough
I’m giving everything I've got to gain every second lost
Six years just ain't enough
With you, I’m happy being me
Don't pretend, 'cause I don't need to
I'm a thousand miles from home, never on my own
When you whisper down the phone
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I guess we never saw this coming
Halfway around the world calling
But I just want you to know
[Chorus]
That I'd have all I need
If you were standing right in front of me
I'll finally see what it means to be complete
Don't need to spend our lives chasing gold
Anywhere with you, I’ll call my home
Oh, I’d have all I need
If you'd be the better half of me
[Verse 2]
I’m still up, it's 4 AM
Is this Amsterdam or Berlin?
I'm just waiting for the day I finally get to say
These words face to face
You'll always be my number one
A whole lot more than good enough
I’m giving everything I've got to gain every second lost
Six years just ain't enough
With you, I’m happy being me
Don't pretend, 'cause I don't need to
I'm a thousand miles from home, never on my own
When you whisper down the phone
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I guess we never saw this coming
Halfway around the world calling
But I just want you to know
[Chorus]
That I'd have all I need
If you were standing right in front of me
I'll finally see what it means to be complete
Don't need to spend our lives chasing gold
Anywhere with you, I’ll call my home
Oh, I’d have all I need
If you'd be the better half of me
[Verse 2]
I’m still up, it's 4 AM
Is this Amsterdam or Berlin?
I'm just waiting for the day I finally get to say
These words face to face
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I guess we never saw this coming
Halfway around the world calling
But I just want you to know
[Chorus]
That I'd have all I need
If you were standing right in front of me
I’ll finally see what it means to be complete
Don't need to spend our lives chasing gold
Anywhere with you, I'll call my home
Oh, I'd have all I need
If you'd be the better half of me
I'd have all I need
If you were standing right in front of me
I'll finally see what it means to be complete
Don't need to spend our lives chasing gold
Anywhere with you, I'll call my home
Oh, I'd have all I need
If you'd be the better half of me
[Outro]
If you'd be the better half of me
Yeah, will you be the better half of me?
Will you be the better half of me?
[Verse 1]
これからもずっとお前がナンバー・ワンで
俺には過ぎた相手だよ
自分のものはなにもかもひとつ残らず差し出すよ，失った時間を取り戻せるんなら
6年なんかじゃとても足りない
一緒だと自分を好きになれるんだ
格好なんてつけないよ，そんな必要ないんだし
自分の住んでるところから遥か遠くに来てたって，ひとりじゃないって思えるよ
電話からお前の声が聞こえて来ると
[Pre-Chorus]
まあだけどこんな風になるなんて，お互い思ってなかったな
地球の反対側にいて，そこから電話してるとか
だけどこれだけ言わせてくれよ
[Chorus]
欲しいものなら揃うんだ
目の前にお前がちゃんといるだけで
「満たされる」って言葉の意味がやっと初めてわかったよ
金のことだけ考えて人生過ごさなくていい
一緒に過ごせるところならどこでもそこが「家」だから
欲しいものなら揃うんだ
俺の「相手」になってくれたら
[Verse 2]
目が冴えて眠れない，時間は朝の4時なのに
ここってアムステルダムだっけ？それともベルリンだったっけ？
こうやってただひたすらに
あのセリフを面と向かって言えるチャンスを待っている
[Pre-Chorus]
まあだけどこんな風になるなんて，お互い思ってなかったな
地球の反対側にいて，そこから電話してるとか
だけどこれだけ言わせてくれよ
[Chorus]
欲しいものなら揃うんだ
目の前にお前がちゃんといるだけで
「満たされる」って言葉の意味がやっと初めてわかったよ
金のことだけ考えて人生過ごさなくていい
一緒に過ごせるところならどこでもそこが「家」だから
欲しいものなら揃うんだ
俺の「相手」になってくれたら欲しいものなら揃うんだ
目の前にお前がちゃんといるだけで
「満たされる」って言葉の意味がやっと初めてわかったよ
金のことだけ考えて人生過ごさなくていい
一緒に過ごせるところならどこでもそこが「家」だから
欲しいものなら揃うんだ
俺の「相手」になってくれたら
[Outro]
俺の相手になってくれたら
そうだよ，なってくれるだろ？
一緒になってくれるよな？
（余談）
一体どういった相手が「better half」なのかについては，人それぞれお考えがあると思いますが，個人的には「コーヒーを飲む」「コンビニの弁当を食べる」などの日常的な行為を一緒にして楽しい相手がその人の「better half」なのではないかと思っています。
